The BCM8511B is a single-chip 10G DWDM transport
processor that supports the following major functions on a
DWDM line card:
• Integrated 9.953/10.664/10.709 Gbps transceiver
• G.709 Digital Wrapper (DW)
• G.975 Forward Error Correction (FEC), RS(255,239)
• SONET/SDH performance monitor (PM)
The device includes flexible data interface options. Both data
inputs and outputs are independently programmable as 10G
serial data or 16-bit (LVDS) parallel clock and data. The
BCM8511B also has flexible modes of operation:
• Digital wrapper with FEC
• Optional SONET/SDH PM digital wrapper without FEC
• Optional SONET/SDH PM
• SONET/SDH PM with digital wrapper and FEC bypassed
The integrated transceiver performs the clock and data recovery
(CDR) and the demultiplexing functions on the serial input
data. It performs the clock multiplication (CMU) and the
multiplexing functions to produce the serial output data. The
transceiver is data-rate programmable to support the OC-192
SONET/SDH rate (9.953G), the G.975 FEC rate (10.664G),
and the new G.709 FEC rate (10.709G).
The BCM8511B performs digital wrapper frame and byte
alignment, overhead extraction, and performance monitoring
on the input data. FEC and correction statistics are performed
on the frame and byte aligned digital wrapper frames.
SONET/SDH section and line overhead byte
extraction/insertion and performance monitoring are performed
on the FEC-corrected data.
All necessary performance monitor functions for SONET/SDH
section and line overhead bytes are provided for Operations,
Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P).
These functions include error checking, overhead data
extraction, and insertion. Detected errors and accumulated error
counts are accessible through a microprocessor port.
Optionally, digital wrapper overhead bytes can be inserted into
the data stream. Processed frames are FEC-encoded and
serialized in the transceiver.
